Few months ago, Mr Deol had said in an interview that he doesn’t drink, and even wondered how people like and tolerate alcohol.
“It is bitter, has a foul smell and gives you a headache,” he had said.
Sunny Deol has given some of the biggest box office hits like Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Ghayal, Damini, Darr, Border and Tridev. He co-starred with brother Bobby Deol in Apne, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Poster Boys. After acting, Sunny Deol ventured into politics.
He was last seen in the blockbuster Gadar 2, the sequel to the 2001 hit Gadar, which was also a massive success. In the sequel Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma reprised their roles of Tara Singh, Sakeena and Jeete, respectively. Additions to the cast include Simrat Kaur and Luv Sinha in a cameo.
